@Damaan4u33 And Iran would have a nuclear bomb, Hamas would be strong, Hezbollah would be bombing Israel, China would control the Panama Canal, narco terrorist would have open access to the US water ways, murder rates in US cites would not be coming down, boarders would be open …

Do you agree with Matt McConaughey?

CO₂ does not control the climate. It never has. It is not the master dial of the Earth’s temperature, nor is it the architect of our modern anxieties. Carbon dioxide doesn't cause excessive rainfall, droughts, or the collapse of coastal cliffs. Nor is it responsible for the fractures in human society—terrorism, urban violence, obesity or the drug crisis. These are the products of a human civilization that has survived its own annihilation by the narrowest of margins, persisting for 300,000 years largely through a stroke of cosmic luck. Yet, for four decades, a relentless climate war has force-fed the world a diet of crisis and warming hysteria. It insists that CO₂ is the root of all evil—that it is our fault and it is the gas's fault. But the truth is indifferent: CO₂ doesn't care. It is not demonic. It is not pollution. It is the foundation of life on Earth. Without it, Earth would be a silent, sterile rock, inhabited only by bacteria. It was CO₂ that empowered cyanobacteria to unlock the miracle of photosynthesis, slowly flooding the world with the 'waste product' we call oxygen. Before this, the oceans were dark with iron, the skies were not blue, and the world was effectively lifeless. We should be thankful for this gas of life, rather than inventing doomsday scenarios to vilify it. If we look at the true scale of our planet, the single greatest factor affecting Earth’s geology is tectonic continental flow. This slow, majestic dance of crustal plates shapes our continents and redirects the great ocean currents. This is nature at work. Today, CO₂ is a mere trace gas at 427 ppm (0.04%). While it is a mighty driver for biology, it is at some of its lowest levels in planetary history. During the Cambrian Period, concentrations were upwards of 4,000 to 8,000 ppm. If those massive levels did not trigger an 'irreversible environmental collapse', it is illogical to assume today’s trace amounts will. Furthermore, water vapor remains the dominant greenhouse gas, reaching concentrations of 40,000 ppm (4%) in the tropics. It is responsible for the vast majority of the greenhouse effect, yet it is sidelined in favor of the carbon narrative. History matters. For hundreds of millions of years, CO₂ has not been the deciding factor in global temperature. Homo sapiens evolved during the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, which began 34 million years ago when Antarctica became entombed in ice. Our entire history has unfolded within the Quaternary glaciation, surviving 100,000-year cycles of icehouse conditions. Almost every meaningful invention, every empire, and every leap in human progress occurred within the brief, warm window of the Holocene. We have never not lived in an ice age. We have survived global upheavals before, but we may not survive a self-imposed collapse into a new medieval dark age driven by ideological fear.

@BreitbartNews Does Mamfani’s budget proposal have a line item for feeding the rats in the NYC subway?

WARMTH OF COLLECTIVISM UPDATE: Mayor Zohran Mamdani declares a "budget crisis," asks for a bailout from the state government, and pushes back his deadline for completing the city budget at least 10 days: "We cannot close this deficit with savings alone. We need new revenue, and we need a structural reset in our relationship with the state. That is the only way to meet our legal obligation to pass a balanced budget."

@ThePrizeForce @jonburkeUK By “profit” I think you mean tax subsidies. There are no profits in wind and solar.

@jonburkeUK We need to nationalise the wind, it's outrageous that private companies are making profits from our air. We then need to take the profits and create a sovereign wealth fund.

My brother is an electrician who works in offshore wind. He sent me this photo of the largest turbine installation vessel in the world. Skilled jobs, good pay, & secure futures. While fossil fuels shed jobs & destroy the planet, renewables are delivering for the working class.

@BarackObama 30,000 pages of comments in the Federal Register to secure healthcare to preexisting conditions and extend the coverage of dependents? Really?

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time. The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more. But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.

@PGtzsche1 Trump denies that the trace gas CO2 is a major driver of global climate trends; of course he recognizes climate variability. He is reversing the insanity and economic destruction of labeling CO2 a pollutant!

Trump is a climate change denier and forced the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to rescind its endangerment finding. bit.ly/471aesi. The award for the best kiss of Trump’s ass (see the satire: bit.ly/4bbHQ9o) should go to EPA Administrator, Lee Zeldin, who praised what he called a new Golden Age of economic growth, saying: “I am proud to deliver the single largest deregulatory action in US history on behalf of American taxpayers and consumers.” If it could have any effect, I would deny that Trump ever existed.

@MrAndyNgo @ProfMJCleveland But isn’t he someone’s neighbor?

An illegal migrant from Mexico out on bail with local Oregon charges of first-degree r—pe, first-degree s—domy and purchasing s—x with a minor has been detained by Customs and Border Protection at Portland International Airport. Manuel Cruz-Ramierz was already deported in June 2018 but returned via a flight using a fake or stolen passport. He was arrested at the airport, otherwise Oregon authorities would have released him. ngocomment.com

@PGtzsche1 Professor, you are loosing credibility by wading into the political cesspool.

Our upcoming documentary about vaccine controversies is much needed. Vaccine denying circles in the USA depict Andrew Wakefield as a hero even though his research linking the MMR vaccine and autism has been proven fraudulent on multiple counts. Please read my vaccine book, bit.ly/3pA2evK, with numerous details about the Wakefield fraud, before you possibly comment on this tweet or on my Substack article: bit.ly/3Me19oY. I expect the worst from some of my readers. In a world full of lies, particularly in the USA under its current president, truth has a hard time.

@robinmonotti Yep! Hard to ignore the geological data.

Do you agree with Dr Bellamy? Straight up yes or no?

@donwinslow I wonder if this was a case of “suicide by cop?” Why on Earth didn’t she comply with the legal request to get out of her car? She chose to escalate the situation and then drive towards the cop on an icy street. Suicidal behavior!!

THE WHEELS ARE FULLY TURNED AWAY FROM THE OFFICER. Watch in SLOW MO. No intention IMO to hit anyone. Sole intention based on wheel/steering wheel to LEAVE the scene NOT A THREAT. Look at the wheel.

Katie Hopkins 2025 YEAR IN REVIEW Strap in and brace brace brace

@CharlieK_news RFKj will be one of the greatest Sec HHS in history. I’m confident he won’t bend or break!

🚨 WOW: More than a THOUSAND HHS bureaucrats just signed a letter demanding RFK Jr. resign. 😂 But guess what? Regular Americans aren’t backing down — they’re getting LOUDER. If you’re with RFK Jr., smash a THUMBS-UP 👍!

@TonyShepherd4 Climate variability is real; CO2 driven climate change is a fraud. The gravy train is starting to breakdown!

Climate change is real and the world’s commitment to net zero is important ‼️ That’s why responsible countries and governments are moving fast toward renewable energy ‼️

@RepSaraJacobs And would you suggest the American tax payer also include the children of the 15-20 million illegal aliens in the “free” child care program?

Instead of spending $77 billion over the next four years on immigration enforcement, we could pay for universal child care that’s free for all families. Which would you pick?

@DarrigoMelanie The level of suicidal stupidity is breathtaking!!!

If you believe all of these people are paid protesters, then you probably believe that Trump is covering up the release of the Epstein files because he’s not in them.

@MAGANationX Get dental care here before you go. And buy a burka.

@allenanalysis All the left has is name calling. Please - specific policy differences. Why? Because the country rejects the left’s policies so all they have is name calling!!

Jessica Tarlov just lit up Fox News with a brutal truth bomb: Americans are marching on No Kings Day because Trump brought corruption, election denial, autocracy, and a gold-plated grift to the White House. They blinked. She didn’t.

@DOGEQEEN 100%! American citizens in an American census.

Thoughts??..... Are you OK with that?

@ElephantSignal It’s a start!

🚨BREAKING: Senator Elizabeth Warren warns that President Trump has terminated 50% of employees at the Department of Education. What's your response?

@BernieSanders Excuse you offer no reasonable solutions for universal coverage. We spend 3-4 x’s / capita as any other country with crap outcomes and you will demand more money to expand coverage!!! NO MORE MONEY!!!

Our health care system is not just broken. It is on the verge of collapse. We must ask ourselves: Why is the richest country on earth the only major nation that doesn’t guarantee health care to all?
